When a pet owner is away, their absence is not only felt by their human family members but also by their four-legged pals. The connection between pets and their owners is incredibly strong and continues even after the owner’s passing. It is heartwarming to see the unique bond shared between them, which is truly one-of-a-kind.
In this piece, we’d like to present to you the heart-melting story of Fulmine and his partner, Leonardo.
They spent a delightful seven years living in the rural parts of Italy until an unfortunate accident befell Leonardo. He had to be hospitalized, leaving his dear son, Fulmine, without proper care. Fulmine longed for his father’s return and would often run to the gate whenever a car approached, as Sara Sechi, Leonardo’s daughter, testified.
Last month, a man who was going through a tough time couldn’t handle it anymore and passed away without saying goodbye to his loyal furry companion. Everyone was left puzzled when the little dog went missing for two days. Eventually, Sara found out where Fulmine was. After the man’s funeral, Sara and her son went to the village cemetery to add more flowers to the man’s tomb. They were surprised to find the little brown dog lying there, paying tribute to his beloved owner.
Fulmine gathered his strength and rose to his feet after a long while. He slowly walked towards the doghouse that Leonardo had arranged for him, but he still felt dejected and had lost his desire to eat.
Despite his first visit, Fulmine made it a habit to visit the cemetery regularly. Neighbors reported seeing him heading towards Leonardo’s burial ground every day without fail. Despite the two-kilometer distance from his home and the lack of guidance, Fulmine was determined to pay his respects to his departed friend. He somehow managed to navigate his way back to the cemetery on his own.
Sara has generously taken in Fulmine to give him the best possible care. However, they will always cherish Leonardo’s memory in their hearts. Be sure to share this uplifting story with your loved ones!
